Castillo y Castillo

Castillo y Castillo has significant expertise in banking and finance mandates, advising on a broad range of financial projects, loan structuring work, and securities issues. Leveraging a broad bench and deep market knowledge, the firm is trusted by leading companies and institutions for complex transactions, particularly in the hotel financing space. Exemplifying this strength, a team, led by Sebastián Jiménez, acted as Dominican counsel for Banco Popular Dominicano and Popular Bank, advising on the provision of a $71m financing facility to Inversiones Piterju and Inversiones Vilazul for the acquisition of Vilazul’s share capital and renovation of the Jewel Punta Cana Resort & Spa Hotel. Práxedes J. Castillo Báez leads the team alongside Jiménez, and Vera Martínez and Maria Portes support Jimenez across the team’s most complex matters.
